The article “Global Warming May Spread Diseases”, published in the online newspaper “CBSNews” in 2009 [1], argues that climate warming is allowing disease-causing bacteria, viruses and fungi to move into new areas where they may harm species including humans. The author believes that pathogens that have been restricted by seasonal temperatures can invade new areas and find new victims as the climate warms and winters grow milder. In my opinion, the article is structured in a very effective manner: it first presents what would happen if the situation will not change, and then provides some examples of what has already happened with some species.

The first part of the article mainly focuses on ongoing changes connected with the global warming and possible scenario of what these changes will entail. Climate change is disrupting natural ecosystems in a way that is making life better for infectious diseases and scientists believe that just a one- or two-degree change in temperature can lead to disease outbreaks. It is very reasonable because they also found some pathogens reproduce more often in warmer temperatures, so there are more germs around to cause infection.

The author warns that malaria and yellow fever may become more common as milder winters permit the seasonal survival of more mosquitoes, which carry these diseases and climate warming could enable them to move into areas where the cold once kept them out. Also we can meet in the last part of the article some examples of effects occurred. For instance, coral reefs in many parts of the world are becoming bleached and dying, killed by pathogens that thrive in the warming seas. Or a parasite that kills Monarch butterflies can survive only at warm temperatures and the warming climate has allowed the parasite to spread.

Regard to the dangers faced by some species of animals, the article lists the excellent examples and it gives us to understand the inevitability of what...

Globalwarming -- a serious warning
I have a dream, that in a near future, the people of this world will come together as one. We could all come together as one and leave all our differences of color, religion, and political views behind us, to stand together to face what Bill McKibben calls the greatest challenge and threat mankind has ever faced: globalwarming. In 2007 Bill McKibben, an author, educator, and environmentalist, wrote the article, “Global Warning: Get Up! Stand Up!” to persuade people that we, the people on earth, have caused, and are still causing, the climate changes that have been taking place over the past decades. More than that, however, McKibben explains that something still needs to be done about it. McKibben uses extreme, yet reasonable, examples and methods to convey this message effectively.
Globalwarming is the result of the greenhouse effect, which has increased since the human race started to burn fossil fuels in order to extract energy. When fossil fuels are being burnt, greenhouse gasses, such as carbon dioxide, set free into the atmosphere. The accumulative pollution causes the atmosphere to reflect heat radiation back towards the earth, instead of letting the gasses disappear into space, because the ozone layer gets thicker. However, without the greenhouse...

"All across the world, in every kind of environment and region known to man, increasingly dangerous weather patterns and devastating storms are abruptly putting an end to the long-running debate over whether or not climate change is real. Not only is it real, it's here, and its effects are giving rise to a frighteningly new global phenomenon: the man-made natural disaster" said President Barack Obama regarding the ongoing debate on globalwarming.
People all around the world are starting to realize that there is a price to pay for the deliberate disregard for mother earth. GlobalWarming has become a major topic of discussion recently because of the obvious effects of mans excess of pollution on earth. In the past as well in the present there are still many who still think globalwarming is a "hoax. Research shows that the results of green house emissions etc..., have had a direct impact on the climate. Increasingly powerful hurricanes, tsunamis as well as intense heat waves have taken millions of lives. The extremely noticeable changes are found in habitats, the erratic change in temperature has taken a toll on wild life all over the world for example polar bears in Alaska are fighting...

...This article contents seven quality paragraphs on Globalwarming. Globalwarming is the increase in average global temperature due to increase in amount of green house effects in the earth’s atmosphere.
Paragraph/Article - 1
The term ‘GlobalWarming’ refers to the rise in the temperature of planet earth which will bring an end to the mountains old human civilization. The Green house gages including CFC-11 and CFC- 12 make the earth hotter and hotter by absorbing maximum quantity of thermal radiation of the sun. These gasses permit the rays of the sun to penetrate but don’t let the thermal radiations escape from the earth’s atmosphere once they enter it. This causing what is termed as the Greenhouse effect which is responsible for the increase in the temperature all over the world. The rise in temperature disturbs the rain cycle, the ecological balance, the cycle of seasons etc. It adversely affects vegetation and agriculture. Thus, we have to face frequent floods and droughts through the world. With the increase in temperature and the melting of glaciers, even snowfall has reduced its occurrence and intensity. The winter temperatures are showing a gradual increase. With the warming of the planet there is also rise in humidity because the rise in temperature has increase the rate of evaporation. The local governments should work...

Introduction
Usually when people think of globalwarming they think of hotter weather. This is not necessarily correct. Globalwarming is not something that happens over one season but happens gradually overtime. The term globalwarming is a bit deceptive because it leads people to believe the temperatures will get hotter, this is not the case. Climate change impacts the hydrology and biology of our planet. This can cause stormier, dryer and even in some cases, colder weather. (Maria Trimarchi, 2014)
Cultural Relativism
When we think of globalwarming we typically just think about how the climate change is affecting our society. We do not stop and think how the changes affect other under-developed cultures. The article discusses how many under privileged countries die a lot sooner because of climate change. Something that developed countries would not see as quickly. (Sarah DeWeerdt, 2013) Understanding that the carbons and methane we use here in the United States not only affects our air quality and climate control but can have effects in Africa and other countries.
The article discusses how the changes in weather from really dry heat to instant down pours of rain affects the agriculture....

Cause and Effect Essay
“GlobalWarming”
The Earth is getting more polluted day by day. With infrastructural development progressing at a rapid rate, some harmful chemicals that are produced from science and technological equipment are disposed in the environment. Due to the subsequent increase in the amount of these chemicals in the atmosphere, the Ozone layer that prevents harmful particles from entering into the earth atmosphere gets depleted causing those harmful particles to enter into the earth atmosphere. Due to this, the earth's environment is disturbed, which, in time, results in very high temperature on its surface. This is known as ‘globalwarming.’ There are various causes for globalwarming and its effects are so intense that it won't be a surprise if the mass extinction of animals and birds occur pretty.
The main cause of globalwarming is human influence. Although humans are trying to eradicate this major disastrous, they are also making this disastrous occur. To further explain more clearly, Globalwarming is nothing but the exposure of harmful toxic gases to the atmosphere. Out of all of the harmful toxic gases, carbon dioxide is known to be as the major gas behind globalwarming. With the rapid increase of factories and...

...﻿GlobalWarming
A common topic known worldwide as controversial and challenging is globalwarming. Many people do not know the cause and effect between man-made activities, practices, and behaviors that have contributed significantly to globalwarming. All nations should be required by law to curtail, modify, or stop such activity. A great difference in climate change will occur if people around the world became aware of their actions to achieve a more stable and safer environment.
Scientists have spent many years trying to figure out what is causing globalwarming. They have looked at the natural cycles and events that are known to influence climate. “The amount and pattern of warming that's been measured can't be explained by these factors alone.” Realizations of scientists have concluded that humans contribute to the earth’s temperature getting warmer. Greenhouse gases produce by humans, are responsible for globalwarming, most of which come from the combustion of fuels in cars, factories, and electricity production. Some of these gasses can trap more heat within the world then carbon dioxide (“Climate Hot Map”).
Carbon dioxide lives in the atmosphere for a long time, up to centuries, so its heat-trapping effects are accumulated over time. This type of gas can put the world at a great risk of catastrophic...

...Globalwarming and how thunderstorms and floods effect agricultural growth. Thunderstorms and flooding effect how and what we eat everyday because of the cost. Once globalwarming is under control, the cost to create food will be reduced immensely. This is important because of poverty that has been created because many different nations are not able to feed their people.
The authors describe how the absence of water effects the growth and how drought effects feeding people in that area and the nation. It is examined how the temperatures rising effects the amount of thunderstorms and the amount of crops are affected. They explain how the crops are being transformed to be able to feed more people with less substance for growth.
Does globalwarming explain the relationship between thunderstorms and floods controlling the effects of the agriculture?

Breithaupt, (2003) has found that farmers in this era are using water before it can be replaced from aquifers underground. The population is growing and agriculture cannot keep up with the demands. The land that is not being used for farming is being examined for future use. The crops for food is being analyzed to see if it can be breed with another crop for more yield so that the...

...How Disease is Spread by Vectors
In medical science or biology, a vector refers to an agent (microbes, animals or person) that does not cause disease by itself but helps in transmitting the pathogens that cause disease from one host to another. In this sense, the host could be humans, animals or plants. These vectors have contributed to the epidemic of so many diseases. Different diseases are transmitted by different vectors but some ailments share common vectors. For instance female anopheles mosquitoes are responsible in transmitting malaria and yellow fever in humans (Mueller et al, 2007), while ‘plague’ is transmitted by fleas. As for plant diseases, many of them are transmitted by aphids. These vectors have different modes of spreading diseases as mosquitoes shall been taken as a case study on how they aid the spread of malaria.
Malaria is a disease characterized by general body aches, shivering and sweating. It is caused by a parasite called plasmodium which has several species that affects humans. For this parasite to spread, it needs its host, humans and mosquitoes, the vector. A part of plasmodium life cycle takes place in human and the other part in mosquitoes. Female anopheles mosquitoes are the parasite’s preferred vector that spreads malaria. When female anopheles mosquitoes, which prefer...
